  • TT No.86: Steve Hardy – Saturday 3Rd
    TT No.86: Steve Hardy – Saturday 3rd February 2018; Old Hill Vets v Shirley Athletic Vets; Birmingham & District League Vets Cup; Result: 2-6; Admission: Free; Programme: No; Attendance: 4 h/c Once again, a 3G pitch comes to the rescue. This week though, I actually wanted to visit it, as opposed to the ‘everything on grass is rained off, so a plastic pitch it is then’ attitude I have adopted in recent weeks. The match was originally on the fixture bulletin as a Shirley Athletic home match. I thought at the time that Shirley were the only ground left for me to visit in the BADL, so as the game was postponed week after week through the bad weather, I got more and more frustrated. This week’s bulletin said ‘game switched to Old Hill’ though, so a quick text to the very helpful Shirley Secretary gave me the address of Old Hill’s ground, and I hadn’t been there - woo-hoo! The ground in question is actually a school, Leasowes High School in Halesowen, to be exact. At the back of the school is a brand new floodlit 3G pitch in a cage, where spectators are allowed in, and can wander around all four sides too, which was a bonus. I had seen a couple of games previously in the BADL vets cup competition, so I knew that any thoughts that this match would see 22 elderly men tottering around the pitch for 90 minutes was entirely spurious. These games are taken VERY seriously, the players are fit and the play is often aggressive.

  • Volume 5 No.3
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 5 No. 3 December 2002 Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry Subscribers : 160 Who Was The Best Prewar Rider? Don Gray, Old Orchard, Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, CB5 9JU, Telephone: 01223 862279 has posed the question above and set out to answer it in the following article. On becoming aware that I saw my first speedway meeting on Easter Monday 1930, many acquaintances ask, who, in my opinion, was the best rider in the pre-war era? A most difficult question to answer. A number of criteria present themselves from which to reach an opinion and they are viewed from different perspectives by various enthusiasts, many of whom, I might suggest, are biased towards their own particular favourites. I must concentrate on the thirties and ignore the overseas pioneers of the late 1920s when Frank Arthur and Vic Huxley reigned supreme over the inexperienced emergent British riders and when those spectacular showmen like Billy Lamont and Sprouts Elder enthralled a curious and excited public. I choose to ignore the one track specialists who performed brilliantly on their own circuits but indifferently when visiting other tracks. I put men like Jack Barnett and Phil Bishop at High Beech, the Australian Jack Bishop at Exeter, Arthur Jervis at Leicester Super and Len Parker at Bristol. Unlike the modern era, the pre-war decade was notable for the number of riders who experienced purple patches of form and dominated their peer for a few weeks, only to recede back to the category of “good” rather than “outstanding”.
